christmas poinsettia's are simply elegant

there's really not much i need to say for this post.  poinsettia's are simply beautiful, elegant and a wonder of mother nature as a plant.  the blossom is a building of lofty leaves off the stem moving up and out, layer upon layer.  they can be billowy.  they can be stately.  they can be lacy.  they can be short, long, slivers and so much more.  they make christmas elegant.   these are from the botanical gardens here in lincoln park. 
be well & enjoy.  marlo
